"But, why are you here?" She asked her voice still a bit shaky. She heard a rough laugh tumble through the cart.
"I'm going to Kyoto. Isn't that what you're doing?" He asked as if she was stupid. He slowly walked out into the milky mon light shining through the open door of the cart. His long black hair stuck up into the air and his light brown eyes danced with enjoyment. He seemed to love this life, even though he was so young.
"Kamyia Kaoru." She said regaining her poise and standing up holding her hand out for him to shake. He smiled, so far having a good attitude.
"Yahiko Myojin." The boy said grasping her hand and shaking it. Kaoru sat back down and hugged her bag to her chest casting her happy eyes to the side. 'I'm going to see Sano. Megumi will get better, then I can come back home and see Misao and Aoshi as well.' She thought excitedly.
"Hello? Hey! UGLY!" His voice broke into her mind and her angry head snaped up and she glared at him.
"What did you call me?" She asked venomously. He laughed and a large smile spread across his face.
"Your ugly, and you wouldn't listen to me. I said, are you ok? And if there is anything I can do to help tell me, but I don't think I will anymore." He said rudely crossing his arms.
"Yahiko, I should turn you into the conductor!" She shouted until she realized she would get in trouble as well. He just smiled.
"Go ahead. Turn me in!" He said popping his collar insert laugh here. Kaoru just glared at him and turned her head.
"I didn't want your help anyway!" She shouted fuming. Yahiko laughed and sat down.
"Thought so." He said smiling.
"Shut up Yahiko, I hate you. I'm going to bed." She said laying down and closing her eyes but not before she heard him snicker and utter a few more nasty remarks.
"Whatever you say ugly." He whispered before he laid down and surrendered to the darkness as she did.
Red hair. Big, bouncy red hair. Violet eyes. White skin. Cross shaped scar. Short. Wide, kind smile. A person. A person she didn't recognize. The bright light. He must have opened the door. She closed her eyes once more but when she felt her shoulder moving erotically she opened her eyes again.
"Hmmm?" She asked looking up into the same face.
"Miss, Miss do you have your ticket?" His sweet soft voice was asking.
"No." She said then rolled over trying to sleep still. Her closed eyes snapped open when realization hit her over the head with a harsh stick. She rolled back over taking a better look at the man. He was crouched over her, dressed in a black conductor suit with his hat hanging from his belt. His red hair was tied at the nape of his neck and his violet eyes smiled at her.
"Don't throw me off, please. I have a...husband waiting in Kyoto for me. Please, my sister is sick and I need to help them out so we can be reunited with the rest of my family back in Tokyo." She said tears welling in her eyes as she sat up her hands folded begging him not to toss her.
He fell back a bit with her sudden motion then stabilized himself. His eyes became hard. "I don't know." He said looking harshly at her dirty hobo body.
"Please. I'll work on the train, I'll do anything I can. I'll do whatever you need." She said hastily. He smiled coyly but it quickly faded.
"Can you shovel coal?" He asked. A coal shoveler on the train had recently passed away and they were short on hands and time, so they couldn't stop to hire help.
She nodded vigorously. "Yes! I can do anything you need." She said quickly. She even flashed him her muscles for a moment then laughed. He nodded slowly and she smiled widely.
"Thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to me!" She said holding his arm happily.
"I need you to come with me." He said helping her up. He jumped out of the cart and turned to look at her. She gently jumped from the cart as well. 'He's gorgeous!' Her mind shouted at her as she stared at his standing form.
'And to think, I get to spend time with him.' Kaoru thought staring openly at him for just a moment then looking around her as he lead her to the front of the train were she found her new job.
